Plexus Holdings (AIM:POS)

Simply Wall St Financial Health Rating: ★★★★★☆

Overview: Plexus Holdings plc, along with its subsidiaries, supplies equipment and services to the oil and gas industry in the UK and Europe, with a market cap of £9.75 million.

Operations: The company generates revenue of £12.72 million from its Oil Well Equipment & Services segment.

Market Cap: £9.75M

Plexus Holdings has shown significant improvement, transitioning from a net loss to a net income of £2.93 million for the year ended June 30, 2024, with revenues increasing substantially to £12.72 million. Despite its low return on equity at 19%, the company benefits from strong interest coverage and cash flow that exceeds its debt obligations. However, shareholders experienced dilution over the past year and the stock remains highly volatile. The management team is relatively new, which could impact strategic direction in the short term. Earnings are forecasted to decline significantly over the next three years despite recent profitability gains.

Market Cap: £13.45M

Zinc Media Group plc, with a market cap of £13.45 million, faces challenges as it remains unprofitable and reported a net loss of £2.61 million for the half year ended June 30, 2024. Despite this, the company has secured significant new production contracts worth £4 million and recommissioned popular series such as "Bargain Loving Brits in the Sun" and "Rob & Rylan's Passage to India," which bolster its revenue prospects across fiscal years 2024 and 2025. Shareholders experienced dilution over the past year; however, Zinc maintains more cash than debt and has a sufficient cash runway for over three years.
